La Crosse Mayor Tim Kabat wants to increase the western Wisconsin city’s room tax by 50 percent to avoid a big jump in the property tax rate. The revenue produced would pay for renovations to the La Crosse Center. Not everyone is on-board with bumping the room tax from eight percent to 12 percent. Officials with Explore La Crosse worry having the highest room tax in Wisconsin would hurt the quarter-billion dollar tourism industry. City officials warn the local property tax would be affected if the room tax doesn’t go up.
